The Cost of Chronic Conditions

A new
interactive map from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) illustrates the
prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and asthma in adults from 2001
to 2010. Users can breakdown the statistics by educational attainment and
race/ethnicity. The map is part of RWJF's
Prevention Saves Lives and Money webpage, which includes studies that highlight
prevention initiatives that are effective in improving health and reducing
health care costs, in addition to case studies that examine innovative public
health initiatives that enhance workplace wellness.
